The cam sensor on my 1996 Plymouth Breeze has failed again. This will be the third time in 3 years this sensor will be replaced. What could be making this sensor go bad in less than a year? Is this a known defect?

Perhaps there is excess voltage in the entire system, meaning excess discharge from the alternator and a poor, or lack of compensating resistor somewhere. I would also replace the appropriate relay. They are alot cheaper.

Are you replacing the sensor with OEM parts or aftermarket? Sometimes this can make a difference with reoccuring problems.

Could be a faulty voltage regulator that sends surges to the sensor.

Replace the connector for the crank sensor. Mine failed twice in 2 weeks time. It was moisture getting into the wires at the connector and shorting it out.
